ACTLytics
ACTLytics is a small consultancy that aims to be the bridge between software developers and software users. We do not deliver software, instead we provide services to help use software more effectively and generate value from it.
Our work spans multiple industries, from large multinationals to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). What sets us apart is our deep understanding of both the technical side and the user perspective. For example, we work with planners to understand what they need to work efficiently with new software. We ask critical questions to truly understand the challenges software users face, and we combine that with strong mathematical and optimization skills to grasp the inner workings of the software being used. In most cases, our work involves either improving optimization models or training users to get the most out of their tools. In addition, we use data analysis to identify bottlenecks within organizations and provide actionable advice to improve business processes. Our projects are diverse and often situated at the intersection of Operations Research and Business Analytics. Mostly, the projects are related to logistics.
At ACTLytics, you will work alongside curious and cooperative colleagues in a small team of 5 to 10 people. The atmosphere is warm and friendly but can also be competitive. Especially when we play boardgames after lunch or during our weekly padel sessions on Mondays. Other activities that we organize are our annual ski trip, participating in a triathlon together or having a karaoke night. At ACTlytics there is a lot of room for self-improvement. Growing as a person as well as growing your professional skills is important. We believe learning from each other and helping one another is key to both individual development and team success.

At Milliman, you make a real impact.

You’ll be working in an environment that offers a high degree of freedom, alongside ambitious, resourceful colleagues who are always ready to help. Our culture is driven by knowledge and results, and we continuously seek out new challenges in the world of data, risk, and regulation.
